ROUND 2 REPORT
Teams came back stronger in this round. New players were introduced by some team to help secure wins over their opponents. No draws in this rounds. All winning teams won with 1point over their opponents.Board 1Team Saxx introduced Lakodun Kola to play on board 2 to secure a win over Delta Creed team with just 1 point.

Board 2
Facility Control outplayed Greater Tomorrow’s team gaining 5.5points, unfortunately, they had to forfeit 2boards. A huge mistake on the part of the captain who probably forgot the board order he submitted to the arbiter before the beginning of the round. Two of the team player’s sat on the wrong board other. In simple English, on board 2, IGBOECHEONWU Clinton was supposed to play against Jonathan Oyelabi but played against Soyoye Tega while Oyemade Olamide of Greater Tomorrow played against Jonathan Oyelabi.
Greater Tomorrow also made a mistake of submitting Obi Elizabeth on board 6 but a Victoria Monja played on that board against Ikuenomore Ayodeji (Team captain for Facility Control). The penalty is automatic forfeit.

Board 3 saw Pedachess Team defeating Lekki Club with a 1point margin as well. It was a narrow escape. CM Abiola Akinseye of Pedachess team converted an almost losing position against Nathan Flow of Lekki club to win a critical point for his team.

Board 4
Oluwalasinu Seye of Magic Magnus threw away a clear winning position to Oluwaseyitan Femi of Evergreen. That point gave the win to Evergreen team.

Board 5
Chess Sensation after being sensitized by Facility Control the previous day came back stronger in this round against the Deciphers. They could have come on top but lost a critical board as a result of not sitting in accordance to their submitted board order. Kalensanwo Abimbola was supposed to play on board 5 against Nosa Efogiawere of Deciphers but went to play on board 6 against Dennis Daramola hence a forfeit.

Board 6
Another occurrence on board 6 here, Olabisi Rabiu of Outlier’s team was not around as at the time the board order was submitted to the arbiter. The captain seeing that the games was about to start and his player is not around scouted for another female player to play on that table. It was outright forfeit.

There was a little controversy over using match points or game points in this tournament. When the suggestion of using match points to supersede game points, Mr. Dasaolu Rotimi stood his ground that Game Points would supersede Match Points and his decision is final. All the captain despite not all favour accepted.

Nigerian Chess Oracle in person of Efemuai Odafe put a call through to Mr. Dasaolu Rotimi who said an appeal of to the decision can be made by the captains who don’t like the decision and can be reversed if they win the appeal. Finally, the Chief Arbiter in person of IA Ogbonnaya Obinna addressed the issue. Match Points would be used. A win is 3points, Draw is 1point and Loss is 0point

Boss. We should take a cue from our sister game Scrabble where players play according to their category. A chess player now playing Scrabble won a bronze medal. In the opens section of Scrabble event. Do u think if all play all like u all r suggesting he would have won that. With the likes of Wellington, Moses Peter's n nsikak playing. But bcus they r masters players they can't play with him. U have a state with 6 players all on 2200 n above. How do u think the smaller states have any chance. If u wanna root out dealing n corruption we must give all states a level playing field
